Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. A system comprising: a radio-frequency receiver configured to receive a first signal containing information in a data stream; a received data stream analyzer coupled to the radio-frequency receiver and configured to detect information in said data stream; a global position system (GPS) coupled to the received data stream analyzer, the GPS configured to determine a geographic location of the radio-frequency receiver responsive to receipt by the GPS of a signal from the received data stream analyzer; and an information correlator coupled to the received data stream analyzer and the GPS, and configured to correlate information in the data stream to a geographic location; wherein the information correlator is configured to select a prior geographic location of the radio-frequency receiver from a database of geographic locations whereat song titles were received by the radio-frequency receiver.
A system that logs song locations. It uses a radio receiver to get music and data like song titles. A data stream analyzer extracts this song info from the radio signal. A GPS determines the receiver's location. An information correlator links the song info to the GPS location, creating a database of song titles and where they were heard. The system can then find previous locations where a specific song was played based on this data.
2. A system comprising: a receiver configured to receive a first signal containing information in a data stream; a received data stream analyzer coupled to the receiver and configured to detect information in said data stream; a global position system (GPS) coupled to the received data stream analyzer, the GPS configured to determine a geographic location of the receiver responsive to receipt by the GPS of a signal from the received data stream analyzer; an information correlator coupled to the received data stream analyzer and the GPS, and configured to correlate information in the data stream to a geographic location; and a display device coupled to the information correlator, wherein the information correlator is configured to display a map on the display device and to display on the displayed map, at least one geographic location where a song was received by the receiver.
A system that displays a map with song locations. It has a receiver for music and song data, a data stream analyzer to extract song info, and a GPS to find the receiver's location. An information correlator links the song and location. A display shows a map, and the correlator marks the spots on the map where specific songs were received. This allows users to see where they heard certain songs.
3. The system of claim 2 , further comprising: a data storage medium coupled to at least one of the radio-frequency receiver and the received data stream analyzer, the data storage medium configured to store data representing information in the data stream.
This expands on the mapping system that displays song locations. It adds a data storage medium, like a hard drive or memory, connected to either the radio receiver or the data stream analyzer. This storage saves the song information (song title, artist, etc.) extracted from the radio data stream. This allows the system to store and recall the song data for later use in mapping and displaying song locations, as described previously.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the data storage medium comprises a received song title list database.
Building upon the system that maps song locations and includes data storage, this version specifies that the data storage medium is a "received song title list database." This database specifically stores a list of song titles received by the radio receiver. This refined system makes it easier to search and retrieve song titles for correlation with GPS locations.
5. The system of claim 2 , further comprising: a data storage medium coupled to the GPS, the data storage medium configured to store data representing a geographic location of the radio-frequency receiver determined by the GPS responsive to the GPS receipt of a signal from the received data stream analyzer.
Expanding on the system that maps song locations, this version includes a data storage medium connected to the GPS. This storage saves the geographic location of the radio receiver as determined by the GPS. The GPS location data is triggered by the receipt of a signal from the data stream analyzer, effectively logging the location whenever new song data is received. This builds a database of locations that can be linked to song titles.
6. The system of claim 2 , wherein: the information is comprised of a song title and the information correlator is configured to correlate a prior geographic location of the radio-frequency receiver to a song title in a received song title database.
Refining the map-based song location system, this version focuses on the "information" being song titles. The information correlator specifically links past locations of the radio receiver to song titles stored in a "received song title database." This means the system can find the locations where specific songs were heard, using a database of songs and their corresponding locations.
7. The system of claim 2 , wherein the radio-frequency receiver is a hybrid digital radio receiver.
In the map-based song location system, the radio receiver is a "hybrid digital radio receiver". This refers to a radio that can receive both analog and digital radio signals, like HD Radio. Using a hybrid receiver allows the system to receive richer data about the songs being played, such as song titles and artist information, from the digital broadcasts.
8. A system comprising: a radio-frequency receiver configured to receive a first signal containing information in a data stream; a received data stream analyzer coupled to the radio-frequency receiver and configured to detect information in said data stream; a global position system (GPS) coupled to the received data stream analyzer, the GPS configured to determine a geographic location of the radio-frequency receiver responsive to receipt by the GPS of a signal from the received data stream analyzer; and an information correlator coupled to the received data stream analyzer and the GPS, and configured to correlate information in the data stream to a geographic location; and a display device coupled to the information correlator, wherein the information correlator is configured to display a map on the display device and to display on the displayed map, a plurality of legs of a route, over which the radio-frequency receiver travelled and during which a plurality of songs were received by the radio-frequency receiver.
A system displays your route and songs you heard. It has a radio receiver, a data stream analyzer to get song info from the radio signal, and a GPS. The information correlator links the song to location, like other claims. A display shows a map with your route marked by lines. The system marks where you heard each song on this route. This allows a user to see the route they travelled and the songs they listened to on each part of the route.
9. A system comprising: a receiver configured to receive a first signal containing information in a data stream; a received data stream analyzer coupled to the receiver and configured to detect information in said data stream; a global position system (GPS) coupled to the received data stream analyzer, the GPS configured to determine a geographic location of the receiver responsive to receipt by the GPS of a signal from the received data stream analyzer; an information correlator coupled to the received data stream analyzer and the GPS, and configured to correlate information in the data stream to a geographic location; and a display device having a touch-sensitive screen, the display device being coupled to the information correlator, which is configured to display a map on the display device and to display on the displayed map, a plurality of legs of a route, over which the receiver travelled and during which a plurality of songs were received by the receiver, the touch-sensitive screen being configured to be responsive to a tactile input above a leg of the route displayed on the display device and, output a route leg selection signal to the information correlator, the information correlator thereafter effectuating the display of a title of a song received by the receiver while the receiver was located along the leg selected by the tactile input.
A system displaying songs on a map of your route with touchscreen control. It has a receiver to get songs and data, a data stream analyzer to extract song info, and a GPS. The information correlator links songs to locations, like other claims. The display has a touchscreen. The map shows your route with lines. Touching a line on the screen selects that part of the route and then it shows the song you heard while travelling on that line.
